Welcome to the legendary Tim Tam Room, where the music sizzles, champagne flows, and dancing beauties tempt and tease. When Tansy, the club’s crown jewel, announces her imminent departure, the club’s MC is left holding his heart in his hands. Exuberant hijinks and salacious striptease collide as this night of classic burlesque unspools into a sequin-drenched, raucous farce.

"Watch out for Richard Saudek, folks. An Off-Broadway star has been born."

"Of the many terrific elements in Eager to Lose the one that stands out most is Richard Saudek’s mind-blowing mime work as Peeps, the nearly mute janitor at the Tim Tam Room. Mr. Saudek’s rendition – the plasticity and precision of his contortions, his silent storytelling inventions, his facial expressions, his incorporation of magic tricks – is nothing short of brilliant.
...Besides his scenes with other characters, Peeps is given one solo number and he is captivating. If Mr. Saudek ever develops an entire show around a silent personage of his, whether one with his Peeps character or not, I will be first in line."

"The show’s standout, however, is Richard Saudek as Peeps. His unbelievable physical characterization of this peculiar character is nothing short of remarkable. His completely silent three-minute monologue is a piece of physical storytelling the likes of which I have not seen since the late, great Marcel Marceau"

“The gleeful spirit of the show is hard to resist, as are its saucy entertainers...in one virtuoso sequence, Mr. Saudek's elaborate mime antics are fun."

"Richard Saudek steals the show with an astounding physical performance as MC's mute sidekick, Peeps, channeling masters of silent-film-era comedy like Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Without a single word, he holds an audience captive"

"...the biggest standout was mum Igor figure Peeps (played with the precision of a surgeon and the movement of a world class dancer by Richard Saudek). When Saudek wasn’t on the stage, there was almost a longing for the character to reappear; a presence he held over the audience. The elaborate, over-the-moon performance art of the nonspeaking role also included a nigh three-minute story without words by Saudek, something only few skilled and versatile character actors, like Saudek, can execute"
